Bomb

There were 10 passengers on the Ulsterbus as well as the female driver when masked men got on thee bus. They ordered her to drive to the Strand Road Police Station.

However, the female driver abandoned the bus on Northlands Road and got in touch with the PSNI.

It seems the device was indeed a bomb.

Bus Driver

Derry’s MP Mark Durkan said about the bus driver:-

“She was doing an honest job serving the public only to find herself cynically subjected to this ordeal – bringing predicament, danger and distress upon her.

“The fact that she coped so well is no thanks to those behind this calculated malice.

“We are all thankful that we have been spared the horrendous outcome that was intended – thanks to the courage and resilience of this woman in such terrible circumstances.”

Sinn Fein

 

 

Sinn Féin councillor Eric McGinley it “serves no purpose.

 

“I would call upon anyone involved in this type of activity to desist; they are going against the will of the vast majority of the people in this area who have indicated that they want to move forward without this type of disruption” .
